Karma Lawrence, the shopper who took the viral photo of Geoffrey Owens at Trader Joe’s apologizes following the negative attention it brought upon the actor.
Lawrence who spoke to NJ.com in an interview apologized profusely for any pain she may have caused the 57-year-old Cosby Show star because of the picture she shared.
“I don’t know why I snuck a picture,” said Lawrence. “I figured everybody does it. I don’t know what possessed me. I just did it. I didn’t even think about it. I just kind of did it on impulse and it was a bad impulse.”
“I actually wanted to go up to him and say something, but I thought, you might embarrass him. But then I did something that actually embarrassed him more. I didn’t go with my first instinct, and I should’ve.”

She added: “It wasn’t malicious. That’s on my kids, my grandkids, my parents. I’m not that type of a person. I’m not the monster they’re making me out to be.
“When I saw him working there I thought maybe because of everything with Bill Cosby that his residuals got cut. And people have to take a normal job. But I didn’t think anything bad about it. I work a normal job.”
“I would tell him, ‘I am extremely, extremely apologetic about what has happened,’ ” she said. “And if I could take it back, I would.”
